IXXAT and SoC-e offer a complete IEEE 1588 solution for Xilinx FPGAs.

IXXAT Automation and System on Chip engineering (SoC-e) Bilbao in Spain started a cooperation on IEEE 1588 in the beginning of 2011. By combining SoC-e’s IP core for Xilinx FPGAs and IXXAT’s field-proven PTP protocol software, a new powerful IEEE 1588 solution was created. SoC-e’s customers can now benefit from IXXAT’s PTP software, which is designed for highly accurate synchronization applications. The protocol software is field-proven in a wide range of applications while being comprehensively supported and maintained by IXXAT.

The new release of the IXXAT CANopen Device Manager now supports 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 operating systems.

The CANopen Device Manager is an universal, plug-in based CANopen test and development tool that offers user friendly access to CANopen services and protocols specified in CiA 301, CiA 302 and CiA 305. In addition to numerous improvements, the CANopen Device Manager is now also supported under Microsoft’s latest 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 operating systems.

Customers who have ordered the software after 1/1/2010 will get a free update to the latest version. For older software versions updates are offered at attractive prices.

New features and extended hardware support

The precise time synchronization of devices in distributed applications, like measurement, telecommunication and automation systems as well as in the automotive sector, is increasingly becoming an important requirement. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE 1588 meets this requirement by enabling a highly accurate synchronization of distributed devices over Ethernet down to the nanosecond range.

New, enhanced and revised version 1.2.0.2810.

As an extension module for IXXAT’s canAnalyser, the SAE J1939 module allows the interpretation of received messages according to the SAE J1939 standard, which considerably simplifies the analysis of SAE J1939 systems.

The new version of the module comes with an updated database supporting the PGNs/SPNs according to the latest specification SAE J1939 of 2008-Q2. It now displays the PGN acronyms next to their number and provides notes on the PGNs via tooltip. In addition, the online logging functionality has been optimized and further improvements at the display of messages and symbols were made.

[ Further information about the SAE J1939 module ]

IXXAT now offers its SAE J1939 protocol software in an extended and revised version 2.02.

Besides an adaptation of the user interface, which now allows an easy extension of the software functionality via optional modules, e.g. for NMEA 2000 and ISO 15 765, the support of J1939 devices with dynamically adjustable addresses has been improved.
The protocol software is completely written in ANSI-C. Required drivers, to adapt the software to the CAN controller and the target system, are offered as separate packages.
